First let me gif my feelings on Christmas
I'm not a Christmas person. Not since I started putting books on my wish list instead of toys and video games. That being said, it's always been strange to me how people have more fun during Halloween compared to Christmas, but put so much more emphasis on Dec 25th instead Oct 31...the cool holiday. It's like how you gravitate towards the cool aunt or uncle that doesn't really have their shit together, but still way more fun to be around than the stoic patriarch. This film mixes them together in an absurd mash that makes fun of modern society and it's need for external validation via social media and still mixes in boobs and blood for a silly horror movie that reminds you not to take everything so serious.

| Not really. You are kind of dumb. |
The story is simple: 3 vapid thrill-seeking urban explorers find a Christmas themed amusement park to explore, film the experience and upload it to the interwebs for likes, hits, and smashes. Things go awry when Krampus starts hunting them. They stumble upon a white-trash bearded fellow that just happens to be St. Nick. Together, they conquer Krampus and mock him:

| Nobody likes a tease, ma'am. |
Unfortunately for them, they find out that Mrs. Claus is behind the Krampus shenanigans and they have to stop her...and by stop her, I mean KILL her. Where's your Christmas feels now, eh? Anyhoo, narcissism triumphs over Lady Claus's revenge plot and happy is had by all. I didn't say it was a deep plot, but it's still stupid fun.
Sunday: Finale
